As a medical student, growth and function fascinated me, and so I became a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon. I enjoy clinical work, research and teaching, and I remain a committed trainer despite the current challenges. I am a past president of both EPOS and the BOA and current president of IODA (International Orthopaedic Diversity Alliance).
I enjoy writing and have contributed to numerous book chapters and authored many papers. As BOA President in 2023, I was at the forefront of developing and maintaining innovative and sustainable solutions for training, research and clinical care with diversity, inclusion and equity at the forefront of our plans: but all these do require engagement! I continue to pursue these interests and try to ‘make a difference’!
In my spare time … I enjoy London Life
